Robert recently touched on this subject once again in a new interview with Howard Stern. The actor opened up about his engagement to musician FKA Twigs, explaining that he keeps things private to protect both himself and his fiancée. When Stern observed that he's kind of "secretive" about his relationships, Robert elaborated on why that is: "It’s one of the most frustrating things in the world, you want to be able to [be more open], but it’s literally like, you get stuck in this position but you have to make this decision whether you want to let the crazy people in.... So you kind of think, like, to protect it, I want to create a big boundary, but then it makes it difficult for your actual relationship."

This isn't the first time that Robert has had to address people being cruel about his relationship — and about FKA Twigs in general. A few months after their 2015 engagement, the actor opened up about horrific racist comments that his fiancée received online. Robert said that he "couldn't hide his anger" when it came to those hateful words, adding: "I’ve never met anyone who’s left a comment on anything. It’s just demons who live in basements.... It really does affect you, and it all comes from some moron sitting on a comment board."

For the record, it's never OK to bully anyone online (nope, not even celebrities), and no one should ever have to deal with racist comments. As for a star's relationship, it's important to keep in mind that celebrities aren't obligated to share their love lives with fans — and when they've been harassed in the past, it's completely understandable that they'd want to keep that part of their day-to-day private. At the end of the day, we just have to respect that — because all people, even celebrities, deserve privacy.
